1 Hardware RequirementsOpenLab CDS Topologies
OpenLab CDS Requirements and Supported Instruments 8
OpenLab CDS Topologies
OpenLab CDS is available in different topologies. They differ on where the various software components (Clients, Shared Services and, if relevant, Content Management) are located. For details on the topologies refer to the respective installation guide or check with your Agilent representative.
OpenLab CDS Workstation and Workstation Plus
OpenLab CDS Workstation installations include all required components on the same PC.
Figure 1 All components on the same PC
Networked Workstation
Networked Workstation is defined as a PC machine that supports both user interaction (i.e. sample submission and data review and processing) as well as automated functions (i.e. data acquisition and automated processing and printing). For OpenLab CDS, a Networked Workstation is an AIC used interactively for sample submission and data processing. The Client components are installed as part of the AIC installation.
OpenLab CDS Client/Server
With an OpenLab CDS Client/Server installation, you need multiple hardware components (see “OpenLab CDS Client/Server System Topologies” on page 9 for more detail). The OpenLab CDS software provides the CDS components on Analytical Instrument Controllers (AICs) and clients. On the server(s), the OpenLab Server software provides the Shared Services and Content Management components.

1 Hardware RequirementsOpenLab CDS Client/Server System Topologies
For configurations with multiple servers, you will receive a starter pack with two OpenLab Server software licenses; in addition, you will need an OpenLab Content Management Index server.
OpenLab CDS Client/Server System Topologies
Based on your expected system load, that depends on the number and type of instruments and users, OpenLab CDS Client/Server systems can be deployed with different topologies:
1-server all-in-one system (see Figure 2 on page 10),
2-server system: (see Figure 3 on page 11),• the database is hosted on a separate machine
4-server system (see Figure 4 on page 11)• Content Management and Shared Services on the first server• database on the second server• Index server on the third server• the file server on the fourth server
as a Scalable System.For more information on scalable systems, please refer to the Agilent OpenLab Server and OpenLab ECM XT Scalable System installation guide (available from the Documentation tab of the OpenLab installer).
Consult with your Agilent support representative to decide which topology is appropriate for your environment.

Cloud Services Compatibility
OpenLab CDS client/server installations with OpenLab ECM XT as back-end can run in an Amazon Web Services (AWS) or Microsoft Azure cloud environment, where OpenLab ECM XT is configured as the secured repository for OpenLab CDS; see compatibility statements listed below.
The table provides a simplified view of the possible cloud configurations. Alternative cloud platforms such as Google Cloud, AWS China, Azure China, IBM Cloud, Alibaba Cloud, etc. have not been tested. Agilent can only provide basic guidelines for alternative cloud platforms which often use different services and operate with different specifications. Support for these platforms would be the responsibility of the lab and IT resources of the end user.

1 Hardware RequirementsNumber of Instruments
OpenLab CDS Requirements and Supported Instruments 18
Number of Instruments
Instrument /Logical
Instrument
An analytical system, made up of one or more modules that are configured together to achieve the desired analytical functionality. Also known as a system, i.e. an LC/MSD system.
Points The relative level of load (load value) that an instrument or module puts on a physical or virtual system, aggregating CPU and RAM (memory) consumption. Different types of detectors require more processing power and memory than others, so they have been assigned higher “point” values.
Concurrentsessions
The number of simultaneous connections to the system. This includes user connections and instrument connections. For OpenLab CDS, use Points as the measure of instrumentation as this reflects both number of instruments and the amount of data generated by each instrument system. See below for examples of number of points per instrument type.
Connections Connection Licenses refer to the licenses required in the software in order to run a specific instrument configuration. Note: Points do not equal instrument connection licenses.
The instrument capacity (number of configurable instruments) per Workstation or AIC depends on the type of instrument configured. Work with your Agilent representative to ensure your system is configured sufficiently for your projected number of users, concurrent sessions, instruments, and load.
You can configure any number of instruments that sum up to 4 instrument points per OpenLab CDS Workstation (Standard configuration). Per OpenLab CDS VL Workstation you can configure 1 instrument with up to 2 instrument points.

2 Software RequirementsVirtualization
Virtualization
OpenLab CDS supports two separate virtualization technologies: Application Publishing Technologies such as Microsoft Remote Desktop Services (RDS/Terminal Server) and Operating System Virtualization Technologies such as Hyper-V for Windows Server, sometimes known as hardware virtualization.
Basic machine and processing requirements do not change when virtualizing your machine. Ensure to comply with the recommendations provided in this guide.
Thin Client or Remote Access
OpenLab CDS clients (not AICs) can be virtualized on application virtualization platforms like Citrix. OpenLab CDS clients have been tested with the following virtualization software. Note that the resource requirements are equal to those of the physical machines. On-Premises VM hosts must be at less than 50% capacity (client side).
Tested client application publishing software
• Microsoft Remote Desktop Services (RDS/Terminal Server)Additional Information from Microsoft: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/remote/remote-desktop-services/rds-deploy-infrastructure
• Citrix XenAppAdditional Information from Citrix: https://docs.citrix.com/en-us/citrix-application-delivery-management-software/current-release/deploy.html
NOTE Be aware of a potential conflict when using an All-in-one Citrix environment: Both Citrix and OpenLab CDS use port 27000 for the License Manager Daemon. See “Firewall Settings” on page 41.
2 Software RequirementsVirtualization
OpenLab CDS Requirements and Supported Instruments 30
NOTE For Citrix or plain Windows RDS, at least the OpenLab Control Panel needs to be registered on the server side to be shared for 'thin client' access. For the default installation folder this is: C:\Program Files (x86)\Agilent Technologies\OpenLab Services\UI\Agilent.OpenLab.ControlPanel.exe.
Further programs to optionally register for sharing are:
• OpenLab Help and Learning - C:\Program Files (x86)\Agilent Technologies\OpenLabHelp\en\index.htm
• Parts Finder - C:\Program Files (x86)\Agilent Technologies\Parts Finder\Parts Finder\PartsFinder.exe

2 Software RequirementsVirtualization
OpenLab CDS Requirements and Supported Instruments 32
Analytical Instrument Controllers (AIC)
Virtualizing AICs is supported with VMWare vSphere.
Agilent does not recommend virtualizing AICs due to the added risks associated with not locating the AIC near to the instrumentation. The Instrument-to-AIC connection is outside of the OpenLab communication redundancy protocols and, to reduce the chance of non-recoverable communication issues, it is recommended that this connection be in a local network. It is the responsibility of the customer to make the appropriate risk assessment when choosing where and how to deploy the AIC within their environment.
More Information
See the Technical Overview Virtualizing OpenLab CDS Client/Server Systems (5994-3609EN) for more detail.
For details on virtualization of OpenLab servers please check the OpenLab Server and ECM XT Hardware and Software Requirements Guide (ECM_XT_HardwareSoftwareRequirements.pdf), or contact your Agilent support representative.

3 Network RequirementsIntroduction
Introduction
OpenLab CDS systems rely on network infrastructure in order to support the communication between various system nodes. This communication is based on standard TCP/IP protocols. In order to provide optimum performance and uptime, the network must meet design criteria for available bandwidth, IP address assignment, name resolution and appropriate isolation of the lab subnet from the corporate network.
Use of other network topologies, such as wide area networks (WAN), are considered non- standard configurations and it is your responsibility to ensure performance to these specifications.

3 Network RequirementsAbout LAN Communications
About LAN Communications
When using LAN communications to connect workstations to an instrument, use one of these methods:• Connect via an isolated switch using standard CAT-5 network cabling• LAN communication hardware should be 100/1000 mbps (or higher) speed
capable.
• NIC teaming: LAN cards should not be teamed on workstations, instrument controllers, or clients.
• LAN communication must be on the same subnet as instruments, and preferably on the same segment.
Power Management
Avoid data capture or transfer interruptions in your data acquisition system by making network communication cards available for instrument and system component communications.
Windows may be set to turn instruments/components off to save power while sleeping or hibernating. To change this setting:
1 In the Microsoft Control Panel, open the Network and Sharing Center1.2 Select Change adapter settings. Right-click Local Area Connection >
Properties > Configure.3 Select the Power Management tab.4 Clear the Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power check box.
NOTE The J4100 Jet Direct Card is not supported. For example, use a G1369 LAN interface card instead.
NOTE See the separate driver installation guides for further information regarding vendor specific instrument connections. GPIB or RS232 might be required.

3 Network RequirementsSpecific Requirements for Compliant Systems
OpenLab CDS Requirements and Supported Instruments 40
Specific Requirements for Compliant Systems
If you intend to use your system in a compliant environment, ensure the following settings related to time synchronization:• Your network must have a time synchronization service to make sure that all
systems are using a consistent and valid time.• To ensure that users cannot change the time, users must not operate using
an administrator account.

3 Network RequirementsFirewall Settings
Firewall Settings
If you are using a third party firewall or antivirus software on a network with OpenLab CDS, you need to open the firewall ports listed in the following tables to allow communication between the system components of OpenLab CDS. These apply to workstations as well as to Client/Server systems as component communications rely on these communication channels.The OpenLab CDS installer will automatically open these ports on an enabled Windows firewall during installation.

5 Instrument InformationInstrument Drivers
OpenLab CDS Requirements and Supported Instruments 64
More information on instrument drivers and firmware is available in the respective driver release notes.
Non-Agilent Instrument Drivers
OpenLab CDS 2.6 supports various Non-Agilent instruments. See “Non-Agilent Instruments” on page 86, or check with your sales representative if a corresponding driver is available.
Always install the dedicated current driver available from SubscribeNet at OpenLab CDS > OpenLab 3rd-Party Instrument drivers.
NOTE Instrument driver versions must always match in a network system.
Accidental use of a method from a different driver version, and accidental launching of an AIC instrument from a client with a mismatched driver version will have unpredictable behavior, including subtle errors that might not be spotted immediately.
